Hi everybody! I'm trying to compile a list of VCDS mods for the new A3 platform, similar to what has been done for other models. This is the first iteration, it would be great if this could be put as a sticky and the first page got updated with new codes or validation of the current ones.
I have not tested any of the codes, I'll be doing that in a couple of weeks with a friend's A3 1.2T.
FULL LIST: (UPDATED FEB 01/2014)
